A Case of Juvenile Colloid Milium with Atypical Cutaneous Horn like Lesions in a Young Yemeni Patient
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Investigative Dermatology - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Juvenile colloid milium is a rare degenerative dermatosis of keratinocytes manifesting before puberty. It has a chronic course, is detected primarily over sun-exposed areas, and is clinically characterized by the development of translucent, waxy, yellowishamber papules and plaques containing gelatinous material and(histologically characterized) by the presence of eosinophilic, fissured material in the papillary dermis. We present the case of a 16-yearold Yemeni boy with juvenile colloid milium, who presented with an unusual variant of juvenile colloid milium with waxy transparent papules on the helices which resembled a cutaneous horn. This is the third case report from Yemen as the author has (previously) reported 2 cases in Yemeni sibling(s).
